STARTING / INSTALLATION INSTRUCIONS:

- If you have a previous version of Grimm, remove it totally!
- Unrar/unzip the RAR or ZIP file you downloaded into the root of your doom 3 folder. e.g. (C:\Games\Doom 3) making sure to use the FOLDER extraction method.
- This will create a new folder called 'grimm' in the root folder of your doom 3 installation.
- Start Grimm from the 'mods' menu.

Issue: Sometimes after switching very quickly between weapons the torch doesn't light up anything.
Fix: Switch to a different weapon and back

Issue: While using SSAO I can see artefacts everywhere, sometimes in the form of grain and other times I can clearly see the edges of transparent textures.
Fix: This is inherent for the Doom 3 engine and cannot be fixed. Either accept these graphical artefacts or turn of SSAO.

Issue: The game is far too dark!
Fix(es) There are many ways to fix this. You can adjust light levels using the g_brightness and g_gamma console options, or by adjusting them from the main menu. You can also adjust the ambient lighting properties, please read the sikkmod readme for more instructions about graphical issues, tweaks and performance.

Issue: The game only runs on windows!
Fix: There currently is no version for either Linux or Mac available of Grimm, but I am planning to implement them in the future.
If you can compile on either Linux or Mac, please register and www.doom3world.org and let me know! :)

Issue: The game is too hard!
Fix: Play it on an easier mode, there is absolutely no shame in that whatsoever.
Grimm is harder than other games, especially on Hard. I myself have not even tested Nightmare mode but I am sure it's possible.
Can you play Grimm on nightmare mode? Make a movie on it and post it on youtube!

Issue: The game is too easy!
Fix: Play it on a harder difficulty mode, if you claim you can play it on nightmare... make a video of it and post it on youtube! :)

Issue: What is Grimm's Challenge?
Answer: It is a battle arena where you can hone your skills with the Scythe, quite addictive as well.
SO WHAT IS GRIMM QUEST FOR THE GATHERER'S KEY?
It's a fantasy hack&slash game with a lot of platforming elements that you might find in games like the Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider series, but from a First Person perspective. The world that players enter is wrought with danger. There are traps and enemies around each corner, coupled with pitfalls and abysses to cross. Cunning is often more important than quick reflexes (but those help too). The world of Grimm offers no remorse! Players will get very basic information and will have to learn how to travel this world by trial and error. Each weapon will require skill and has a learning curve. Most weapons have special attacks that can be used.

Features
Based on the award winning Doom3 engine, enhanced with fully customizable features such as Parallax Mapping, HDR, Bloom, SSAO and other high-end features coming from Sikkpin's SikkMod, Grimm looks and plays like a modern game. This mod will move to Doom3 GPL as soon as it is released.

Background
Heaven and Hell are at war and have been closed off to new souls. Human souls now wander in purgatory after death, unable to go up to Heaven or descend down to Hell. The angel, Gabriel, has stolen The Grim Reaper's key of the Gatherer's Keep, the entrance to both Heaven and Hell. He is determined to fight his way through the souls in purgatory and the Demons and Angels in Heaven and in Hell to regain what is rightfully his and restore order.

You are the Grim Reaper.
And Lo those that stand in the way of the Grim Reaper and His Scythe.
For Ever Lasting Death will be their Fate.

Hello:
I would like to play this game Grimm. But I dont have Doom 3 DVD or CD.

What I have to do to be able to play it? Can you explain?
Im new to games on linux, please help
Thanks Lorena

You are you to demand anything or tell the developer if is or not the final version! Only he can decide that and for your information this mod will never run on the BFG edition, the engines are very different, grimm uses ARB shaders, BFG uses Nvidia cg shaders, is almost impossible to make custom GUI's for it because the UI system relies on flash and you can't edit the existent ones because you don't have the source flash files and lastly but also very important sikkmod is totally incompatible with BFG edition as its shaders are ARB based and grimm makes heavy use of it.
